The easiest way is to ssh into you RPi.
Run xbian-config => 4) Packages => 12) Web =? 2) Webserver.

This will install PHP and Apache.

Alternatively

Terminal

sudo apt-get install apache2

Okay, thanks but how to configure it?

I won't suggest apache on the RPi. It's a bit heavy for it. You should better try nginx.

Are there any other differences ?( and does ik support php)

[josch]

Apache is very powerful if you want to have a large webserver. But I guess (without knowing yet) that nginx will fit all your needs
and it's running way faster on the RPi. So, what kind of stuff do you want to do with that webserver?

Sure it can handle PHP! It's a full-value webserver.

I haven't run it but as apache + PHP comes as an xbian package it should be kept up to date with future developments.

However, there are many options out there.

do sudo apt-cache search webserver and sudo apt-cache search web/proxy

As @josch mentions it all depends what you want to do with it. If it's just a small webserver for home use, then Apache might be a bit of a juggernaut if all you need is a van.

Sorry, but you should really begin to read the entire posts attentively.

Here are two links for you:

• Differences of nginx and apache
• Setting up nginx on Raspberry Pi

The link redirects to @josch where he stipulates about PHP - if you can't be bothered to read the posts, then why should we be bothered to help you?

I'm sorry I think I read it to fast,
My appologies

[josch]

Just check the second link from my post (#11). It will redirect you to google, but there are a lot of helpful sites
with step-by-step tutorials linked. If there are any more questions, just ask again. I setted up nginx too on my XBian.
